Most of these were cut 3 months or more ago and have been running the Vibe Lap for the last 3 weeks, modify my procedure so I make more trips to the wash out carrying a bit less;
Singleton Ranch - Black Plume with nice pattern and color. Did not want to cut it up and left it whole. Cutting these flat rocks in half was a bit of a pain until I learned a trick with the clamp;

Singleton Ranch - I posted this one right after I cut it. Polished it on the Vibe Lap, it took a very nice polish with almost no under-cutting. Here again was not going to cut it up into slabs. The blue with the Bouquets/plumes really one of my favorites. Have several more that are in a bucket below a top bucket that need to be pulled out and halved.

Texas Wood - These are about 3/4 inch thick and flat cut bottom so they will stand up on a shelf. Had pretty good color and have two end pieces polished. May sell all 4 as a set;

Texas Wood - May have posted this one before. Same as above it's about 3/4" thick and flat cut bottom to stand up nicely. Have one more thick slab and 2 end cuts polished. May sell as a set;

For the petrified wood pieces, I cut the bottom flat first, then with my rock clamp split it half long way, then glue both halves to wood and cut more thick slabs. Have a good stock of candidates for this process and that's not even going to the bigger Palm Wood pieces.
